OVERVIEW

"War... has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full."– Lord Bertrand RussellThe Impact of Science on Society

Today, as the Ebola pandemic ravages West Africa, the horrible fantasies of the British imperial genocidalists are fast becoming a reality and it is a reality that could have been avoided. In the early 1970s, American statesman and economist Lyndon LaRouche warned that the economic policies imposed on Africa and the developing sector threatened to create a lush environment for the creation of pandemics that would not only devastate Africa, but would spread throughout the world. But those genocidal policies have remained in place for almost 50 years now and all of mankind is likely to suffer the result.

Conducted on October 16, 2014, Dr. Debra Freeman, an epidemiologist and Lyndon LaRouche's National spokeswoman, delivers a damning indictment of the Obama Administration's handling of the Ebola pandemic and outlines the needed emergency medical war footing which is required to bring the crisis under control.

When this Ebola outbreak hit West Africa in March of this year, those countries cried out for help. International health experts urged action while the virus could still be contained. Both were ignored. And now, this hideous disease, for which we have no treatment, no cure, no vaccine; this hideous disease which has a fatality rate of over 70% is now out of control.

The World Health Organization has said that they have given up trying to produce accurate statistics on the number infected and the number dead; that those delivering treatment are too overwhelmed to bother reporting statistics. But, they say, the rate of growth of the infection continues to increase and to increase exponentially. Indeed, the most recent estimates are that, without urgent and dramatic action, more than 1.4 million Africans are likely to be infected.

Poor Africa, you say? Poor Africa indeed. But, be reminded, the British Empire’s stated desire is to reduce the world’s population to approximately 1 billion. The policy isn’t limited to Africa. Furthermore, viruses never have, and never will, observe national borders.

Michael T. Osterholm, PhD, MPH, and Director, Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), University of Minnesota, declares present U.S. measures against Ebola a complete failure, and calls for international mobilization to avoid catastrophe.

On October 14, 2014, Infectious Disease Research and Policy and a leading expert on bioterrorism, Michael T. Osterholm, provided a stark warning concerning the failure to contain the Ebola epidemic. In remarks at John Hopkins Bloomberg School for Public Health, Dr. Osterholm emphasized:

(1). The disease is spreading on virus time rather than on political or bureaucratic time and the virus has the complete upperhand. The result will be mass death. Traditional public health measures are a complete failure in the areas of Africa where it is now spreading and where there are no viable public health systems which can contain the disease.

(2). Public officials in the U.S. have engaged in a public relations campaign telling the public all sorts of things about their knowledge about the virus and how it spreads which simply are not true, purportedly to avoid scaring the public. For example, running a fever is not a sure indicator of the disease and many cases present without fever. It is unclear whether or not the virus can spread in an airborne fashion, particularly in situations of close contact, such as healthcare workers. While promising field hospitals and troops to run them, the U.S. has not fulfilled even that minimal, woefully inadequate response as the disease process on virus time rather than Washington budget cycle time. The only country which has set up a functioning hospital in the contagion zone is Cuba.

(3). Rather than public relations, the world needs a plan to address the spread of the disease to urban areas of Africa, a spread which is already beginning to happen, and a crash international effort on research and a vaccine. Dr. Osterholm particularly cited the U.S., Japan, Russia, and China as critical in the vaccination effort and in building the type of bio-hazard containment facilities which might have a chance against the virus.

Now, with Ebola cases turning up in a totally unprepared United States and Western Europe, the horrible reality is unavoidably asserting itself: there is no place on earth which is protected from the spread of this deadly virus, or one like it. During Barack Obama’s time in office, health care capabilities have been taken down, public health measures slashed, research budgets decimated, and living standards sharply reduced. Add to that the policy of continuous warfare, and it is inescapable: we are well on the way to suffering a new Black Death. In truth, due to globalization, this new Black Death is likely to be worse than what Europe experienced in the 14th century.

How has the Obama Administration responded? with a body of lies that leaves the population of the United States totally vulnerable.

Just look at the most egregious lies spewed by Obama and prostitutes like Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. First, Fauci asserted that while EVD (Ebola Virus Disease) was a terrible tragedy for West Africa, that nobody who received treatment in the U.S. was likely to die from the disease. Just a day later, Thomas Duncan did die. Obama and Fauci said they weren't worried; that Ebola wasn't very contagious and that U.S. hospitals were more than prepared.

But then it was revealed that when Thomas Duncan first arrived at Texas Presbyterians emergency room with all the symptoms of Ebola, including informing personnel there that he had just come from Liberia, he was sent home! It was only days later when he returned to the hospital near death, that he was admitted.

You were told that it was just terrible. But he didn't become infected here. That this isn't Africa after all. That we were capable of containing any discreet cases that might turn up. Dr. Fauci, who does know better, repeated that it was very hard to get Ebola. President Obama went to play golf.

Part of the assurance was that the virus wasn't “airborne.” All that means is the virus doesn't exist freely in the air. What it is is a waterborne virus that is present in high concentration in all body fluids, including saliva and sputum. Translation? Yes, it can indeed be spread by sneezing or any other exposure to the aerosol spray of an infected person.

Didn’t you wonder why, if Ebola is so hard to spread, why thousands and thousands of new cases turn up in West Africa every week? Didn’t you wonder why, when infected American health care workers were brought back to the U.S. from West Africa it was done in specially equipped aircraft by personnel wearing full biocontainment suits?

Now, two of the medical personnel who cared for Mr. Duncan are sick with Ebola. But you were told that U.S. hospitals had a protocol and isolation wards that would prevent that. And you were told that those who treated Mr. Duncan were being monitored. Today you learn that there are only four level 4 hospitals in the U.S. that are truly capable of dealing with Ebola. And as for monitoring, the second nurse who took ill obviously wasn’t monitored very closely. After Duncan died, she flew on a commercial plane to visit friends and family in Cleveland, took ill there, and flew back to Texas on a commercial plane.

More can be said, but the bottom line is that this is intentional criminal malfeasance. On the part of health care professionals like Dr. Fauci, it is because he is a prostitute. In the case of Obama, it is because he is and always has been, a tool of the same British imperial forces who fantasize about reducing the world’s population.

There is no way to undo the murderous policies that have been imposed on this poor planet for almost 50 years. And, yes, innocent people are going to continue to die as a consequence. The situation in Africa is already out of control. But, with urgent international cooperation and the equivalent of what Mr. LaRouche called a Biological Defense Initiative strategy back in the 1980s, we can still avert a full scale New Black Death.

Time is running very, very short. If there is any hope for our nation, and for this world, Obama has got to go. If we do that, then the ghoulish fantasies of Bertrand Russell, Prince Philip, and the British genocidal imperialists can finally be buried for good!

“In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation.”– Queen Elizabeth’s consort Prince Philip, 1988

LEAFLETS FOR DISTRIBUTION

Michael Osterholm, currently the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, is one of the world’s leading experts on public health and biosecurity, has been widely quoted identifying the three phases of epidemic control.

When this Ebola outbreak hit West Africa in March of this year, those countries cried out for help. International health experts urged action while the virus could still be contained. Both were ignored. And now, this hideous disease, for which we have no treatment, no cure, no vaccine; this hideous disease which has a fatality rate of over 70% is now out of control.
